God's Eye is on the Sparrow

Hello again!

We took in 10 baby quail that hatched in our barn.

My mom found the babies without their mother and we didn't know if she would come back, so here we are taking care of them!

(I thought I was done saving birds when I moved, because I did not have any more cats. The cats always brought them in for me to take care of. Well I think they wanted to eat them, but I did not give them that choice. If they had a bird, I took if from them no matter what!) I told my mom, "I thought I was done saving birds"

 and she said "The Lord is bringing them to you instead of the cats."

A few days after the quail came we saved a baby Sparrow. The birds have a nest on our back porch and my mom found the baby, hanging by its wing on the wall. We thought about putting it back, but we did not know how far in the bird nest was in the roof and she did not want to put her hand in there to find out in case of a spider. Also the mother might have kicked it out. :( That's sad if she did.)

My mom did not think the baby would live, but I prayed for it and the Lord answered my prayer!

I have been feeding him chick starter and he just loves to eat, so I feed him about every two hours. It sure has been a true blessing to see him grow!

The Lord was so mindful of us finding the sparrow, so it could live.

 Being able to take care of the sparrow, it reminds me of this scripture.

Matthew 10:24-31 (KJV)

²⁴ The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
²⁶ Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
²⁷ What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
²⁸ And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
³⁰ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
³¹ Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

If He cares when a baby sparrow falls out of its nest how much more will He take care of us, from the biggest down to the smallest. He is so concerned about every part of our lives! Thank the Lord for His never ending love and all seeing eye! Let us fully rest in him for our every need!

                                      These pictures were taken a day or two after my mom saved it.

                                        
                                         These were taken today, six days after I got him.

                                         
                                      (P.S. Sorry my camera does not take very good pictures.)

Here is a dove with her two babies, who made a home in our barn.

It is so wonderful to see all the different kinds of birds and to see the babies grow and soon off to start their own families.

God Bless You Richly

Help me fight the devil as long as I got a tooth in my mouth, then gum him till I die.

And in the beginning God has created you to be master of every circumstance. That's--that's the origin; that's authentic; that's God's Word. There was nothing, nothing could happen, unless you was the master of it. That's what you were created for.

Then sin came along through fall and blinded the eyes of it. And now, Jesus came along and redeemed it back. And now, the Father gives you the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you, giving you all these Divine promises.

Give me a preacher; give me a Christian; give me a housewife that's a Christian; give me a farmer or a factory worker that'll put God first in everything, I'll show you a man that'll be successful in the spite of all the devil can put on him. He seeks God first.

Now, everybody can't be a preacher, but you got a voice. And if you can't preach the people a sermon... If you're a preacher, you're called to the pulpit to preach. If you're not, you're still a preacher, but live the people a sermon. Let your sermon be lived, and it's the Voice of God that'll bring reproach to them who reject It. They say, "No one can put a finger on his or her life. They're sweet, living... They... If there ever was a man of God, it's that man or that woman." See, live your sermons. Don't try to preach them if you're not called to be a preacher; you get all mixed up, anyhow, and messed up, and you'll get people tangled up, and you won't know... Well, you'll--you'll ruin them and yourself, too. Just live your sermon!

The preacher's called to preach his, and to live it too. If you can't live It, then you stop preaching It. But you're supposed to live your sermons.

All right, here was "voices." Oh, how we need in Jeffersonville thousands of lived voices, the thunder of God thundering out in sweetness and holiness, purity, undefiled lives, walking around in the earth today, without a blemish. Yes, sir, real Christians, that's thunder against the enemy. The Devil don't care how loud you can holler; the Devil don't care how much you can jump or how much you can do this or shout. But what hurts the Devil is to see that sanctified, holy life consecrated to God; say anything to him, call him anything, just as sweet as it can be and move right on. Oh, my! That throws him away, that's the thunder that shakes the Devil.

God gave you to Christ as a love gift for His sacrifice. And you are brought to Christ by the Holy Spirit Who wooed you through the Blood of the Lord Jesus, and presented to Him as a gift. And God loved His gifts. And He will not stand to see them destroyed.

57-0120M Impersonation Of Christianity

That's what we're--we should do always, is try to do something to help somebody else. After all, that's the Christian attitude towards things.

This is a great heavy burden that no one knows nothing about. That's just God and I alone. But when I do get to go to bed, what a wonderful privilege I have to kneel down before God and say, "Father, I've done the best that I know how today. I've done all that I know how to make life just a little more pleasant for people."

51-0929 Our Hope Is In God

There's many people just can't believe It, even Spirit-filled people. I'm going to give you one that'll choke you. The baptism of the Holy Ghost don't mean you're going in, not at all, not on that, don't have anything to do with your soul. That's the baptism, see. Here's the inside soul, in here, that has to come from God.

So is the believers today, who's hid out from place to place, but yet they know Who's coming to be King. I don't care who's going to be President. We know He's coming. And it looks farther away than it ever did, when science is trying to overrule, and say, "They can build a man; they can do this; and they take a rabbit and take the pollen and make another rabbit, and so forth," trying to disprove God's Word. Yet, there is a people who believe God, who stands just as pat as they ever did. No matter what comes or goes, they still believe God. God's right. They hold to God's unchanging hands. In the midst of battle, in the midst of tears, in the midst of sickness and death, and everything, they still hold to God's unchanging hand. They know that He's coming King.

And when you separate from Divine love, then you can't overlook your brother's mistakes no more. You got to bawl him out for it. That's right. You can't overlook sister's mistakes no more. Because you've got away from that Divine part, that love part. But if you really love the Lord Jesus, if sister or brother, does something to you, "Oh, well, that's all right, they didn't mean to do it." That's the kind of love that Christ had, "Father, forgive them; they don't know what they're doing."

What we need today is the Holy Spirit back to feed the children, down by the shady green pastures and the still waters.

And every true servant of God that's sent out has got a whole Book full of Divine promises that he can offer to the Bride. I'm so glad of that. He's got gifts in there for her, and He will not hold any of them back. He will get every one of them cleanly. A true servant, a model servant, a servant that God can put trust in. He won't try to hide it back from her, because he knows that she is the oncoming Queen.

59-0611 The Time Of Decision

If Jesus Came to Your House

If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two 

If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do. 

Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored Guest,

 And all the food you'd serve to Him would be the very best, 

And you keep assuring Him you're glad to have Him there

 That serving Him in your own home is joy beyond compare.

But when you saw Him coming, would you meet Him at the door

 With arms outstretched in welcome to your heavenly Visitor? 

Or would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in?

 Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been?

 Would you turn off the radio and hope He hadn't heard? 

And wish you hadn't uttered that last, loud, hasty word?

Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out? 

Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about? 

And I wonder if the Savior spent a day or two with you, 

Would you go right on doing the things you always do? 

Would you go right on saying the things you always say? 

Would life for you continue as it does from day to day?

Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace? 

And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace? 

Would you sing the songs you always sing, 

and read the books you read, 

And let him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?

 Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you'd planned to go?

 Or would you, maybe, change your plans for just a day or so?

Would you be glad to have Him meet your very closest friends? 

Or would you hope they'd stay away until His visit ends? 

Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on? 

Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last was gone?

 It might be interesting to know the things that you would do?

 If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you.
 

 I really like this poem because it makes you think.

What is most important in our lives? 

Jesus sees every thing we do and He is here with us.

We should really think about the things we listen to,

look at, and who we are around. May every one of us do 

what is pleasing to our Lord Jesus Christ all the days of our life.

I wrote this poem on the sermon I heard last night in church.

The Value of Little

What you think might be little,
Isn't little to God,
For it's not how much you have,
But what and who has given it.

God doesn't count, He weighs,
So be content with what ye have,
Little is much when God is in it,
For little is just enough.

Little faith can do the impossible,
Faith just as a mustard seed,
Healing will began to happen,
Loved ones will start coming in.

All you have to do is have a little faith,
Standing on the word of God,
Believing what He said is true,
The value of little is much to God.

God Bless You all!

Canning Spagetti Sauce and Making Noodles

Friday I tried  canning for the first time by myself. I did it a couple
of years ago with my sister and we had lots of fun.
 Besides canning, I made homemade noodles.
Here is some pictures of my adventures.

First of all I washed the jars and lids so they were nice and clean

Then I boiled water and put my tomatoes in it about a minute.

Then I put them in ice cold water

and the peeling just came right off.

Skinning the tomatoes,

Next I cut the tomatoes in 4ths and took out the seeds and juice

so the spaghetti sauce would not be to thin.

I put onions, garlic, dried basil, celery, salt, oregano, bay leaves,

red sweet peppers, and lemon juice in my tomatoes to flavor them.

I mixed it together on the stove and boiled it. The tomatoes just fall apart after cooking it

awhile.

In the two pictures below I am sterilizing my jars and my lids.

It made a lot less then I thought it would. I was thinking about 3 to 4 quarts,

but I ended up with 2. I only canned 1 and used the other 1 for dinner.

It did not make very much, but it was fun and a good experience for me.

Okay noodle time!!

THIS RECIPE WAS EASY!

Only 4 ingredients

1. flour

2. salt

3. eggs

4. oil

5. water

I doubled the recipe.

I had to knead it for 8 to 10 minutes,

untill it was smooth and stretchy.

The recipe said to make it into about 6 different

pieces, then I started to roll it out, one section at

a time.

                                                       Here they are all rolled out.
                                                At this point I had to let them sit for 20
                                                              minutes.     

Then I started to slice them in thin strips

with a pizza cutter.

 I put them on hangers to dry.

That is what my recipe told me to do.

Have any of you done that with your food!

I let it dry for two hours, then I put them in bags

and stored them in the freezer.

They can stay in the freezer for 8 months.

For dinner the same day, I used one bag of noodles

and one jar of the homemade spaghetti sauce.

 Time to eat, come on over everyone!

Have a wonderful day!

Business Letter For School

  For my home school I am learning a lot about computers.
 They told me to right a pretend business letter. I made up
 the addresses, names, and the book. It was pretty fun!
 The stuff I put as what the book was about was from a youth
 meeting last Friday. Bro. Israel was asked to come and talk us
 young people and he talked to us about respect. I really enjoyed it! What
 he said is so true! I pray Lord help me have true respect for my parents.

Here is my business letter.

Dear Mr. Johnson,

I really enjoyed the new book you are printing out for christian young people called, “The Right Mental Attitude”

by Andrew Williams. It was every inspirational!

The one thing I really appreciated about the book is that it was telling how Satan is trying to steal away this generation

of young people from serving the Lord. The spirit of this age is disrespectful to parents. Andrew points at all the

scriptures in the bible about that children are to respect their parents and also to respect God. So all in short he was

saying we need to respect others, our selves and by that we are respecting God.

These respectful attitudes are had to find any more. Thank you again so much for providing this book

Yours truly,

Mindy Roberts

Thats it for now!

Harp Lessons

I am taking harp lessons and I love it. I have not had a lesson sense last year, cause I have been so busy here at my house. So this was the first lesson I have had in a long time and now I am going to work on it more then ever so I can play in my church.
  The harp is so beautiful and I got the best harp Teacher ever to teach me it.

My harp is not as big as this one , even though I would really like this kind of harp.  This is what my harp looks alot more like.   I don't have any of my own pictures of my harp on my computer so these are just off the internet.  God Bless You All!    Mindy
